Eyes on Africa - Lagos, Nigeria - Makoko Floating Schools

Makoko, Nigeria

Makoko is a fishing village located in the Lagos Lagoon. Due to the weakness of the nearby soil and its proximity to water, much of Makoko rests on structures constructed on stilts above Lagos Lagoon. Traditionally this area has been self governing so schools are funded and provided by the village.

The ingenious adaptation of building a structure that floats came from growing concerns with climate change and rising water levels. This adds to its versatility not just from an environmental standpoint but from a political and practical standpoint as well. The area of Makoko is consider a poor area and one of the slums of the city. The necessity to create a school that is not only low cost and sustainable but that also mobilizes as needed to serve the children of the village is significant. Additionally recent land reclamation efforts and commercial developments in the area have reclaimed much of the lagoon from the residents of Makoko. Their homes on stilts must be deconstructed and reassembled elsewhere, while the school’s maneuverability eliminates this process.

Built in 2013 with locally sourced wood and electrically powered with solar panels, the floating construct is designed to house about 100 students and even has a playground and green space. It is entirely sustainable due to the application of solar cells to the roof and incorporating a rainwater catchment system. The structure is also naturally ventilated and aerated. The barrels used to help the structure float are also used as water reservoirs from the catchment system. The floating schools are an ingenious design that serves the needs of the community in a cost effective and eco-friendly way.

“THE ADULT ADHD CIRCADIAN CLOCK MAY BE INCORRECTLY SET BETWEEN 4AM AND NOON” WOULD EXPLAIN A HELL OF A LOT ABOUT MY ENTIRE EXISTENCE

bai-xue

tbh I wish I’d known this earlier on in my life. I’ve always naturally slept from 4am-12pm when my body is allowed to choose its own rhythm.

… This is EXACTLY what I fall into, too.

ADHD is related to several sleep problems, but the most frequent seems the delayed sleep phase syndrome, a disturbance of the circadian rhythm. Research of children and adults with ADHD (when compared to controls) shows that the majority of these individuals has a late sleep onset that is associated with a late onset of the sleep hormone melatonin (van der Heijden et al, 2005; van Veen et al, 2010). Melatonin is produced by the pineal gland in the brain when it is getting dark in the evening, and we wake up by light in the morning. The onset of the melatonin production helps to fall asleep. For most adults the onset of melatonin is around 9.30 pm; in ADHD children compared to controls this occurs at least 45 minutes later, and in adults with ADHD even 90 minutes (van der Heijden ea, 2005; van Veen ea 2010). After melatonin onset, it normally takes 2 hours to fall asleep, but in adults with ADHD it takes at least 3 hours (Bijlenga et al, 2013). So it does make sense that so many people with ADHD have difficulty falling asleep on time. This late onset of melatonin is driven by genes that regulate the biological clock, and those genes have been linked psychiatric disorders like ADHD and bipolar disorder (Landgraf et al, 2014). What the exact relationship is between this late sleep pattern and ADHD is still unknown.

Not to sound like a Crazed Communist~! here.

But if you have $131 billion you can probably afford air conditioning and regular bathroom breaks for everyday Americans that work in your stores.

You’re still going to be ridiculously rich anyway.

But, yeah, let’s focus on finding life on fucking Pluto.

la-knight

Do you know what I would do with 131 BILLION DOLLARS?

- solve the Flint water crisis (50 mil)

- organize relief to be sent to Puerto Rico (that’s what? 500 mil?)

- pay for Little Miss Flint to go to college

- buy an apartment complex in 30 big cities around the US to create special communities for homeless queer teens where they can get a hs and college diploma and learn job skills, get access to health and psychological care, and have access to non-queerphobic religious services if wanted (90 mil to start?)

- buy my own house (at most 2 mil because I have to accommodate 3 family groups and I would want to make the house solar and wind powered; also the cost of my library and wait staff)

- pay the medical bills of every victim of a mass shooting or police brutality (including psychiatric care for the PTSD)

- give a 500k dollar grant to 4k minority-owned businesses (2 billion)

- pay my dad’s ex-wife’s care bills so my half-siblings don’t need to worry about it (she’s old; 1 mil would set her up for life with a cushion for emergencies)

- I’d have some kids

- I’d start a daycare/education center chain for sex workers with children that also provided medical care for kids and college opportunities for the parents that accommodated their work schedules

- I’d pay for young black kids to meet their book and movie heroes like Letitia Wright or Tomi Adeyemi

- I’d find impoverished US communities in need of “standard” meds like asthma inhalers and insulin and provide for them

- I would fucking bribe politicians to advocate for rape survivors, the disabled, and everyone else they fuck over on the Congress floor

- I’d go see Hamilton maybe

- I’d take my best friend to England and to Book Con

- I’d open up more shelters for domestic violence and assault victims that offered opportunities in education, counseling, job help, and child care

And after aaallllll that???

I’d still have like 100 BILLION DOLLARS LEFT
